FIRST BLOOD
Proverbs 3: 9-10
Honor God in everything you own, give him your FIRSTFRUITS!!
1. GIVING IS A RESPONSE
We begin with knowing that God is the ultimate sacrifice.
God is the reason we give.
God gave first blood.
God gave us everything.
Tithing
Abraham gave God the first & best.
I *GET* to tithe.
A cheerful heart of giving God the first & best.
"You'll never come in 2nd by putting God first." Brian Houston
2. REWARD OF GIVING
What do we receive when we give?
The law of sowing & reaping .
A farmer puts seeds into the ground that produces trees, that produce fruit, that produce seeds and so on...
A farmer gets back not what he plants but more than what he plants.
Tithing unlocks God's blessing!
Malachi 3:8
You've robbed me because you're not letting me bless you the way I want to.
He's not sad that He has less, He's sad that WE have less!
The more you give, the more you receive!
Mathew 6:33
Proverbs 3:10
3. REACH OF GIVING
As you give you start to sense, God is using you to reach more people.
It takes place when we use what we're giving and together can do more, and make a huge impact.
Doing things together often has greater impact than doing it by yourself.
Great strength in unity!
Our reach gets longer.
Get in a regular rhythm of giving!!
